I Want to introduce a male Emperor Scorpion to cohabitate my encloser with my girl

[Zigma]

I currently keep a female Emperor Scorpion in an 18x18x12 EXO Terra. I'm planning to introduce a male of comparable size to the same enclosure. Does anyone have any advice on how to safely and successfully cohabitate these scorpions?" Here a photo of my current encloser and the scorpions. Amara is my girl in the photo on her water dish, and Angelus is the boy showing off his pectins.

No guarantee of it working.

Even with all the parameters right (multiple hides, well fed, etc) it is always possible one will have a bad day and that would be it.

That goes for just about any arachnid. Outside of temporarily putting them together for breeding purposes, it's generally best to house them seperately.

There is always Risk involved when introducing Two Predators into a Closed Arena.

I've had no issues keeping P. Imperator communally under a single large hide (having seperate hides supposedly can result in territory building).
As others have said there is always a risk of cannibalism, but from what I've seen its the same level of risk as an M. balfouri communal (minimal), and i've never personally had a loss from one scorp eating another (though I'm certain it can happen).
Also where do people get those species labels?

I get the labels at https://exoticpetdecor.com/

So after I filmed the video I did put them together in her hide. At first it seems fine, but when I checked on them later. He was very determined to be in the same hide as her on the right and she really did not like that. She was trying hard to keep pushing him out and he keeps on just pushing back in. It was hard to see, but he might have even stung her. To be safe I gone ahead and have removed him for now. What would you do in this circumstance?

I've never had that happen, but in the event that it did, I would seperate them immediately and not re-introduce those 2 together.
